    This came out of my mom's storage unit. I remember it as a kid hanging in our house.
    I am thinking this is a print because his works would be in museums right?
    Looking closely at it it looks like it was painted - or printed - on a weave fabric; like the material surrounding the picture.
    So is it a print? If so does it have any value? (I'm thinking that beautiful frame has to have some age & value?
    Any thoughts or info would be greatly appreciated.
    PS - The viewable size is unusual for a print - 12" x 4" ?
    The frame must have been custom made for it - it measures 19" x 11"
    Also the paper info on the back - maybe it was a museum souvenir?
    Thanks again!

    The original is in the Louvre. Yours appears to be a decorative reproduction that has been excessively cropped.

    Yup agree with Debora. You should try and take it out of the frame. Sell the frame itself.

    Thanks - I do like the frame; but after finding a real William Walker painting not so long ago I had to check here! :)

    I like the frame too, but it’s a shame the top right corner is damaged :(
